REMOVABLE BUGGY-SEAT.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MARY ROCKWELL, a citizenof the United States, residing at Blue Rapids, in the county ofMarshall, State of Kansas, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Removable Bug Seats; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in buggy seats andmore particularly to that class which may be readily removed or appliedto the main seat.

The object of this invention is the provi sion of a supplemental buggyseat of such construction that it may be contained within the main seatwhen not in use and which may be retained in spaced relation above themain cushion, and foldable against the back of the buggy.

A further object of this invention is the provision of a device of thischaracter which will be comparatively simple and inexpensive tomanufacture, reliable and efiicient in use and readily operated.

Vith the above and other objects in view this invention resides in thenovel features of construction, formations, combinations and arrangementof parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustratedin the accompanying drawing in which:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through a portion of abuggy showing my seat in side elevation. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsectional view through my improved seat and the supporting cushions.Fig. 3 is a front elevation thereof. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation thereof,and Fig. 5 is a top plan view thereof.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by similar characters ofreference the numeral 10 designates generally a fragment of a vehiclebody in which is located the seat 11 formed with the usual back 12. Theseat 11 is of the usual construction and contains the customarycompartment 13 in which my improved supplemental seat 1 1 may be placedwhen not in use.

The cushion 15 is located upon the seat 11 and comprises the usualsupporting frame 16 which frame is slotted in its forward side asindicated by 17 which slot registers with Specification of LettersPatent.

Serial No. 648, 42.

a guide plate 18 extending to connect the opposite sides of the frame16.

A spring supporting member 19 is slidable through the slot 17 and guide18 and is retained within the said guide by means of a spring clip 20which engages an aperture 21 formed in the retaining member 19.

The spring support 19 is bent upon itself as at 22 to overlie thecushion 15 and is extended vertically as indicated by the numeral 23 atits rear extremity in spaced relation to the back of the seat 12.

The extension 23 is bifurcated as at 24 and bent downwardly producing apair of spring clips 25 for a purpose to be later disclosed.

The forward portion of extension 22 is provided upon its opposite edgeswith a pair of upstanding apertured ears 26 in which are located theoff-set terminals of a supporting spring 27 which is secured to theforward side of the supplemental seat 28. The seat 28 consists of ametal frame 29 to which is secured any desired covering. The ends of themetal frame 29 are extended rearwardly as at 30 and then laterally toprovide a pair of arms 31 which engage the 'clip 25 and support the seatin its horizontal position. Obvlously when the spring 27 is releasedfrom the ears 26 the seat 28 may be folded against the back 12 whichpermits the occupants of the vehicle to alight therefrom. It should beunderstood in this connection that the spring clips 25 are of sufficientforce to prevent the downward displacement of the seat 28 and thedisengagement of the member 31 therefrom.

From the foregoing disclosures it will be readily seen that a seat ofthe nature described is provided which will answer all of the necessaryrequirements of such a device.

Having thus fully described this invention what I claim as new anddesire to protect bv Letters Patent is The combination in a. device suchas described of a buggy seat, a guide secured to the intermediateportion thereof and extending transversely thereof, a plate slidablylocated within said guide, means for preventing the displacement of theplate from the guide, a vertical standard formed upon the forward end ofsaid plate in advance of the seat, said standard being ofi-set at itsupper end to over-lie the seat, the rear extremity of the off-setportion of the standard being clips, and a supplementary seat secured toextended upwardly and terminating in a pair of spring clips, said clipsbeing spaced apart, a link pivoted to the off-set portion of thestandard adjacent the standard, a framehinged to the said link, saidframe being bent at its rear side to produce a pair of arms forengagement With the said spring the said frame. 10

In testimony whereof, I aiiiX my signature, in presence of twoWitnesses.
